Does anybody know what kind of makeup is best for covering up burns? Thanks.

It's the same scar my double has.

Hell.

Shouto. Do you want some help with that makeup? I can meet you somewhere and show you how to apply it.

I'm looking more like him. It's distressing.

I could use the help. I'm at Freshens.

I can be there in 10. I was heading that way anyway.

Wait for me.

I'm in the makeup aisle.

[And about the time she said she'd arrive, here comes the cavalry. Or...whatever Mary counts as, sweeping up to Shouto with a worried, big-sisterly frown. She doesn't even wave, just starts in, gently reaching for several shades of primer]

Okay. Let's...get some things. Can you turn so I can start matching colors to your skin tone?

[He sighs a bit, tugging the hoodie off, to reveal... that he's wrapped the left side of his face in a bunch of bandages.]

Thank you for helping with this.

It's the least I could do.

[Mary reaches up and gingerly touches his face with one finger, studying it closely for a moment, checking the shades and such.]

I'm sorry that it happened, but there's nothing for it but to take care of it. And I...don't think you know too much about makeup. I'll do what I can.

[He lets her touch him without any fuss and glances over the rows and rows of foundation.]

I know a little about stage makeup, not a lot about this kind.

Right. Well. I'll do as I can.

[She nods with some certainty and pulls back, going through several shades.]

We're going to start with something dark, to mask this. And then lighten it several shades. It won't be perfect with something this dark, but I'll try and make it blend in more naturally.
